Abstract :
We describe KMi Planet, a web based news server which facilitates communication within a our laboratory and allows the wider community to access lab-related items of interest. Unlike most news-of-the-future projects, which focus on personalised newsfeeds, we have concentrated on replicating some of the functionality provided by newsrooms. Our goal was to reduce the article submission overheads for the members of our lab, by allowing them to send in articles using plain email text, whilst creating high quality newspages
